Befriending Your Emotions

A 5 part process for breaking through to compassion + empowerment

We tend to place value judgments on our emotions:

Endurance and bravery are favoured.

“Negative” states like fear and doubtfulness can be stigmatised. 

“Judging our emotions creates clinging and energy stagnancy. You’re not your feelings or emotions. You’re the Soul that experiences the feelings. The trick is to not cling to our feelings, so that life energy and insight can move through us.” – Danielle LaPorte


Feelings are powerful information.

Every feeling—when filtered through the heart—helps us to become more conscious.

It’s the heart that expands consciousness, not the other way around. 

Based on the Heart Centered work from Danielle LaPorte, this 5 part exploration takes you through reflective exercises to help neutralise judgments you may have around specific emotional states. Then you’ll be guided to release any emotional change and unpack the wisdom within yourself. 

You’ll be exploring: Happiness, Suffering, Peace, and Mental Anxiety.

This series is for you if: 

  • You want to be less reactive (which comes from being more reflective).

  • You’re ready to put a stop to the looping emotions that sometimes feel like they control you.

  • You’re willing to reframe criticism into compassion.

I’ll send you a brief exercise every day for 5 days.

You can print out worksheets for ease. And you’ll also get some audio support from Danielle LaPorte.

Please give this a go.

It’s a powerfully simple exercise. It may melt your judgments and surprise you with new found strengths.

“We need to have a kinder relationship with our emotions. Because those feelings (which one could argue are really just thoughts) are our creation. We make them. All of them. The happy, raging, easy, difficult feelings.

And that being the case, we should take care of what we create.”
